1 Page 1 of 16 pages. January 21, 2002 PROPOSED RP 219 SMPTE RECOMMENDED PRACTICE For Television High-Definition, Standard-Definition Compatible Color Bar Signal 1. Scope This document specifies a color bar pattern compatible with both High and Standard definition environments. The multi-format color bar signal is originated as an HDTV signal with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and may be down converted to an SDTV color bar signal with an aspect ratio of either 4:3 or 16:9. The Color bar signal is generated with unconventionally slow rise and fall time value, and is therefore only intended to facilitate video level control and monitor color adjustments (see Footnote) of HDTV and SDTV equipment. It can be applied to HDTV video productions, especially in a multi-format environment where HDTV video sources are frequently converted and used as SDTV video content either in 525 or 625 environment with same frame frequencies as in the original HDTV signal. 2.

2 3. Color Bar signal Structure The multi-format color bar signal shall be composed of four specific patterns, shown in Fig Arrangement of Patterns The first part of the color bar signal represents a signal for the 4x3 aspect ratio; a second part of the total signal adds additional side panels for the 16x9 aspect ratio. A third part adds black and white ramps and additional color information, and the last part completes the total signal by adding white and black bars, in addition to a set of near-black-level steps for monitor black level adjustment. Pattern 1 shall consist of a 75% color bar signal within a 4:3 aspect ratio area, with 40% Gray signals (see Note 1) positioned on either side of the 4:3 area. (sub-pattern *1 in Fig. 3-1). Pattern 2 shall consist of the chroma setting signal (75% White) within the 4:3 area, with 100% Cyan and 100% Blue signals to the left and right sides respectively. Additionally, a signal in the sub-pattern area marked *2 in Fig. 3-1 shall be selectable from 75% White, 100% White, + I signal and -I signal options, according to the user s operational preference. (See note 4) The + I signal shall have the following component values: R = [IRE], G= [IRE] and B= 0 [IRE] (See note 6) The I signal shall have the following component values: R = 0 [IRE], G= [IRE] and B= [IRE] Pattern 3 shall consist of a ramp signal, with 100% ellow and 100% Red signals to the left and right sides respectively. The ramp signal is designed for checking specific bit failures that may occur in digital processing. The ramp shall be a linear slope of luminance from 0% to 100% white. Additionally a signal in the sub-pattern area marked *3 in Fig. 3-1 shall be selectable from 0% Black and +Q signal options, according to the user s operational preference. (See note 5) The + Q signal shall have the following component values: R = [IRE], G= 0 [IRE] and B= [IRE] Pattern 4 shall consist of a 100% White signal, a 0% Black signal and a set of near-black signals for HDTV and SDTV monitor black level adjustment. [See note 3]. 15% Gray signal panels are then added at each end of pattern 4. (See note 2). Note 1: The sub-pattern area marked *1 within Pattern 1 in Fig.3-1 (single bar on right and left of Pattern 1) shall be set to 40% Gray as a default value. This value can be optionally adjustable to any other value in accordance with the operational requirements of the user. Note 2: The sub-pattern area marked *4 within Pattern 4 in Fig.3-1 (single bar on right and left of Pattern 4) shall be set to 15% Gray as a default value. This value can be optionally adjustable to any other value in accordance with the operational requirements of the user Note 3: These signals are known collectively as PLUGE (PLUGE: Picture Line Up Generating Equipment). For specific instruction see SMPTE EG , section 4.2 Note 4: When the -I signal is selected in sub-pattern *2, it is required that a +Q signal be simultaneously selected in subpattern *3.

3 Note 5: When the +Q signal is selected in sub-pattern *3, it is required that a I signal be simultaneously selected in subpattern *2. Note 6: For explanation of IRE see SMPTE 170M 1994, Annex B Page 3 of 17

5 3.1 Rise and fall times of bar transitions It is required that implementers of this standard follow practices of proper shaping (rise and fall times for bar transitions) for individual bars. Nominal values for rise and fall time of the HDTV color bars shall be identical for luminance and P R / P B signals, and set to 55nsec. These rise and fall time definitions are based on a transition from 10% to 90%. The tolerance on the rise/fall times is set to +/-10% of the nominal value. The actual shape of the transition should be similar to integrated sine-squared pulse shape. The rise and fall times of the down converted SDTV color bar signal may follow the recommendation of either ITU R BT or SMPTE 170M. Page 5 of 17 pages

10 4. Use of the Color Bar signal The multi-format color bar signal embodies a single signal constructed from the combination of a 100% color bar signal used in HDTV and a 75% color bar signal used in SDTV. Based on the difference in aspect ratio between HDTV and SDTV, a 4:3 aspect ratio center section is utilized as a common area for both SDTV and HDTV signals, while the outside of this area is utilized for HDTV only. This color bar signal format therefore serves both HDTV and SDTV systems,. Additionally, it provides facilities for easy control of video source level and other operations such as monitor adjustments. (Note: Values associated with % are related to a full value of the signal based on 100 % of a full digital signal, defined in a relevant signal format document.) Adjustment of a composite picture monitor Turning on the blue channel only in the monitor, chroma gain and chroma phase are adjusted to give the same brightness level in each main blue bar and the 75% White signal below, in a manner similar to the use of SMPTE color bars as defined in EG Adjustment of a component picture monitor Turning on the blue channel only in the monitor, P B gain is adjusted to give the same brightness level in the blue bars and the 75% White signal area located below the blue bars. Turning on the red channel only in the monitor, P R gain is adjusted to give the same brightness level in the red bars and the 75% White signal area located below the red bars. 4.2 Ramp Signal A ramp signal located in the middle of the screen as part of Pattern 3 allows easy monitoring of specific bit failures in a luminance signal. 4.3 PLUGE signals for Picture Monitor Black Level Setup The PLUGE signals (Note 3) in Pattern 4 (-2, 0, +2, 0 and +4%) are a combination of signal sequences for HDTV and for SDTV monitor use. The sequence (-2, 0, +2%) is intended for HDTV use and the sequence (+2, 0, +4%) is intended for SDTV use Adjustment of Black Level in an HDTV Picture Monitor To set the black level in an HDTV picture monitor, the brightness control is adjusted until the +2% step is visible with respect to the black surround but the -2% step is not visible. (Note 7) Adjustment of Black Level in an SDTV monitor To set the black level in an SDTV picture monitor, the monitor brightness control is adjusted until the +2% and +4% steps are visible with respect to the black surround but the -2% step is not visible. (Note 8) % White signal (Pattern 4) This signal provides the standard level of 100% brightness and is also used for the white balance adjustment of a picture monitor. 4.5 User-Selectable Bar (75% White, or100% White, or + or- I Signal (sub-pattern *2) The selection is based on individual operating practices and environments as follows: % White This signal is used when neither a +(-) I signal nor 100% White is required. Page 10 of 16 pages

11 % White This signal is used to facilitate level setting: the amplitude of the chroma in the 75% color bar signal is adjusted to be equal to the level of the 100% White signal in the waveform of an NTSC composite signal (displayed at V rate). RP I or - I signal This signal is located on the I axis of an NTSC vector-scope; its amplitude is equal to the burst level in the composite signal. Since skin tone colors are located in the neighborhood of the +I axis, the +I signal may be used as a reference skin color signal with HDTV systems, providing a color reference similar to that available in NTSC or PAL systems. (Note 7) The signal sequence of [-2%, 0 and +2%] was adopted in accordance with document ARIB TR-B10 HDTV Multi-Pattern (Note 8) The signal sequence of [+2%, 0 and +4%] is in harmony with SMPTE EG Although SMPTE EG recommends ±4% for the black level setting signal, this sequence was adopted considering the current environment where negative signal excursions are often clipped in the process of down conversion from HDTV to SDTV.

12 Annex A (informative) A1) Set up for composite signals The composite encoded color bar signal of a 525-line television system used in American broadcasting shall contain a set up signal. However, this set up signal is not present in 525-line composite encoded signal television systems used in Japan or in a 625-line television system used in Europe. SMPTE 170M defines parameters of all elements present in a composite encoded signal, including the set up signal. Set up is an offset signal of 7.5 IRE units amplitude, which is added to the black level of the luminance channel in the composite encoded signal during the final stages of the encoding process. The purpose of the set up signal is to ensure proper representation of image information close to black level in a television monitor, by avoiding non-linearity near the cut off point of a CRT-based television display. A 2) Colorimetry of the Direct and Down-Converted Color Bar Signals Reference should be made to published signal standards for HDTV and SDTV for definitions of the colorimetry relevant to the respective signal formats. Equipment designers should be aware that an appropriate colorimetry conversion process between the HDTV and the down-converted SDTV color bar signals is recommended (refer to EG ).
